Chapter 551
Tom smiled a doggy grin and lolled his tongue, much to Ariana's amusement.
…
Silverhand Manor.
John entertains Old Barty.
"You should try this, a drink from the Muggle world."
Handing the bubbling glass bottle of Coke to Old Barty, Old Barty looked at John with suspicion.
This black bubbling thing looks poisonous.
He took a tentative sip, the bubbles dancing in his mouth, and he frowned to keep from spitting it out.
"Muggle stuff is getting weirder and weirder," Old Barty said.
From a Muggle perspective, wizarding things are far more bizarre.
John was noncommittal and said casually: "My parents bought a lot."
"I almost forgot, your parents are Muggles."
When he said this, Old Batty hesitated.
He wanted to know why Muggles were more skilled at killing dark creatures than wizards, and who was riding a fire dragon to party.
Not even wizards dare to do this.
"Johnny Silverhand's new store is scheduled to be in France?"
"What? You want to warn me?" John chuckled and made a joke, "Silver Hand cannot develop in just one country."
"Of course not. Charles Rolland has a relationship with me. He is a complete politician," Old Batty ignored the joke and said, "He wants to use your intervention to make his career in office longer."
"Everyone is greedy, and so is he."
Charles Rolland relied on political means to rise to power, but the disadvantage of doing so was that he looked particularly mediocre.
Without sufficient political performance, he could easily be ousted.
"He came to me last year and asked about you." Old Batty picked up the Coke, frowned and took a sip before putting it down. "He has been paying attention to you for a long time, and he is also a person who knows how to adapt to the situation. ."
"Advertise to the wind? Then he should know who is right to follow."
John smiled. Although this kind of person is very annoying, he is also the most controllable person.
"He is willing to make concessions to me to allow Silverhand to enter more easily," John picked up the tea cup, "I am also willing to let him serve longer."
"You still haven't changed. I'm glad you're still in school."
Old Batty stared at John's cup. If you have tea, why don't you give me this?
Don't you know that tea is a symbol of the British?
Even British wizards are the same.
John took a sip and naturally understood the meaning of Old Barty's words.
"Being ordinary is not a good wish, old Barty."
They talked about the amusement park, a project spearheaded by Silverhand and sponsored by the Ministry of Magic, which was about to open.
"This is a good opportunity, isn't it?" John put down the tea cup and said, "Let the Ministry of Magic of various countries see this project and promote the development of tourism."
Only by letting everyone see the benefits created by Silver Hand can they let go of their vigilance against Silver Hand.
Old Barty looked at John and said in a deep voice: "It is a risky move to open an amusement park near a werewolf community."
"Only by letting more people see werewolves can we gradually turn them into humans."
John said meaningfully: "There are not a small number of werewolves in the world."
Old Barty had the help of the werewolf community behind his rise to the top, and he is also the person who hopes most for the werewolf's status to improve.
Hearing this, he pondered for a while and said: "In my last proposal, I changed the name of the Werewolf Capture Force and established an Office for Werewolf Affairs."
"If they guarantee that this amusement park will be flawless and there will be no werewolves causing trouble, the Ministry of Magic Council can give it full responsibility for werewolves."
This is equivalent to allowing the Ministry of Magic to return the autonomy of werewolves to werewolves, which plays a major role in improving the status of werewolves.
Matters such as werewolves hurting people will be handled through werewolf review.
Wizards are also unable to kill werewolves at will, and wizards are no longer charged with killing magical creatures.
John is very satisfied with this result. Compared with the werewolves of the past, today's werewolves have greater power, which is more beneficial to Old Barty and John.
"They will do it."
…
Chapter 566 Amusement Park, behind-the-scenes conspiracy
The long-planned amusement park officially opened.
This is a big deal, occupying an area comparable to Hogwarts.
The amusement park is divided into several areas, animal area, plant area, aurora area, extreme area, flight area, and celestial body area.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the World Cup-sized Quidditch pitch.
This stadium will also be used for internal Quidditch matches later on.
Quidditch is used in the wizarding world to compete with Muggle football.
However, the competition system is very strange. Those many clubs seem to have only one role, and that is to compete for the qualification of the World Cup.
John combined with the Division of Physical Education to create more classifications for it.
Quidditch is divided into three levels: Top Wizards, Senior Wizards, and Junior Wizards.
There are two rules for level promotion.
Keep the number of teams in the league within a certain number and make the games more enjoyable to watch.
The league system will be officially implemented in August this year.
There are also many delicacies in the amusement park. In addition to delicacies from the magical world, there are also delicacies from the Muggle world.
There are also bands parading through the amusement park, and Easter eggs from the band may be randomly triggered.
"It's convenient to make profits with the authorities."
John sighed with ice cream in his hand.
If Johnny Silverhand were to do these things by himself, he would definitely not be able to complete them smoothly.
Just talking about the establishment of Quidditch events, this needs to be completed through the Department of Magical Sports and Sports.
And it is only implemented in one country.
He looked sideways and saw a dozen ministers of magic from various countries looking at the place with scrutiny.
As they learned more about it, the ministers' expressions gradually turned into surprise.
Especially hearing about the reform of Quidditch competition made them smell business opportunities.
Not every businessman can be a qualified politician, but politicians often have the intuition of a businessman.
They could see that if such changes were made, not only would Quidditch, a football in the wizarding world, become more famous, it would also greatly increase the commercial value of those clubs.
Some clubs that are unable to qualify for the Quidditch World Cup do not have to work hard alone and can work hard along with the competition.
French Minister of Magic Charles Rolland lamented: "Mr. Wick's mind seems to be full of ideas."
He stared at the stadium with eager eyes, a World Cup-level stadium. This was not the kind that would be demolished after use.
Just after the event starts, the tickets this place can sell are enough to increase the Ministry of Magic's funds a lot.
These are all political achievements.
Currently, the only one with the ability to build these buildings is the Silver Hand Fashion Construction Company.
This made Charles Roland even more interested in cooperating with John.
Not just him, but the other Ministers of Magic too.
The minister from Germany looked at this, his eyes darkened, and he asked his own question.
"It doesn't seem appropriate to open such an important place near a werewolf gathering place."
He glanced at the many ministers and said, "Werewolves are dangerous magical creatures. Once something happens..."
He didn't finish what he said, but everyone could understand what he meant.
The birth of wolfsbane potion has brought the bite of werewolves under control, but in the eyes of most wizards, it is still synonymous with danger.
Building a place near a werewolf literally pushes one into the werewolf's claws.
Old Batty glanced at the German minister and said, "Don't worry, we are ready to deal with emergencies."
"I think it's time we went to the opening ceremony."
…
The opening ceremony was unprecedentedly grand.
Various weird fireworks from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes exploded, and a galloping fire dragon flew towards the stands, triggering bursts of exclamations.
Tens of thousands of wizards attended this opening.
They come from all over the world and are a great source of information that will get the word out here.
Candy balloons are flying all over the sky, and the chocolate falling down is so sweet that it fills your heart.
If the broomstick falls, it will be stuck to the cotton-like ground.
It doesn't matter if you fly out, you will experience the joy of being ejected and flying up.
The Aurora Zone is beautiful and dreamy, and the Animal Zone is thrilling.
Or you can go on a maze adventure in the plant area. After clearing the level, you can get rewards from the amusement park.
You can also go to the celestial body area to appreciate the vastness of the universe and the changes in the stars.
The extreme zone stimulates the senses.
A variety of experiences keep these wizards coming back.
Outside the amusement park.
A group of werewolves stared at the amusement park, with resentment against the world in their eyes.
…
At the end of the opening ceremony, the eyes of the German Minister of Magic changed.
And Old Batty also paid attention to each other.
Realizing that something was wrong with his expression, the German Minister of Magic immediately calmed down.
Until the end of the day, the German Minister of Magic had not waited for the result he wanted.
Old Barty received news from Sophie.
He walked sullenly outside the amusement park.
A group of subdued werewolves appeared in front of them.
"They are not local werewolves," Zoffi said. "We caught them trying to enter the amusement park."
John came over slowly and said calmly: "We are not without enemies."
John smiled listening to the accents of the werewolves.
"Killing with a borrowed knife, trying to destroy the current situation."
"Who did it?" Old Batty was surprised.
John said casually: "We have many enemies, Old Barty."
Not only abroad, but also some people in China may do it.
Old Batty couldn't help but feel lucky that Zoffie and the others were able to prevent this major accident from happening.
